also, i always thought a "favor" is suppose to be free. 
if you're charging for a favor then its actually called a "service".

Mocha Joe disagrees.

My sentiment's pretty much the same with everyone else.

1. Paying to make the "core shop" list is bullshit. Seems like the core shops will say fuck you Berra and the soft core shops with money will pay up, as the rich get richer (including Berra).

2. If you want to make some money off advertising from your successful website, cool. Just don't give us some on the brink of tears bullshit monologue about how you're down to sacrifice for local skate scenes.

The other hooey is Agah's bullshit sales pitch about "less than two dollars a day" being basically free. I can have a Kirby vacuum that'll last a lifetime for pennies a day too and I'm not buying that bullshit either. If that's the way it really works let shops do a trial month or two. If their business picks up then you're really helping them and they can pay you. If not then let folks drop it. Berra you wouldn't want core shops to piss away money that'll give mall shops a leg up would you?

The Steve Berra Twitter updates which include attempts at talking to the female Cory Kennedy multiple times garnering no response and about how great he thinks he is:

#   @Cory_Kennedy I'm on a lot of people's "kind of a letdown" list so don't take it personally.    11:50 PM Nov 14th   from Echofon  in reply to Cory_Kennedy

# @Cory_Kennedy (not the skater) is on my "you're kind of a letdown" list. Cory Kennedy the skater is on my "you're the future" list. 11:32 PM Nov 14th from Echofon in reply to Cory_Kennedy

#   I want twitter to be a place where I don't showcase my sharp, wry humor ala Juno. I'm over the clever, beautiful, funny, amzing, steve berra    6:22 PM Oct 8th   from web   

#   do you guys remember cabbage patch kids? do you know the guy's name who invented it? Steve Berra.    6:57 PM Sep 29th   from web

and berra's response with koston summing it up...

[J_Rog]

and berra's response with koston summing it up...

Berra: "We're not trying to put shops (who don't sign up) out of business"
Koston: "If you don't like it; go fuck your face"

[scootboard]

finally, a reason to fuck my face

[Cthulhu!]

and berra's response with koston summing it up...

Hmmm. Is it really a good idea to tell the people who might have bought their boards to go fuck their faces?

[bbk]

If that info should have been in the first video instead of "we're helping the small shops, the shops we list are the important ones"

[Donkey Lips]

"what is geo-targeted advertising?"

[NickDagger]

I had a guy tell me to go fuck my face once.



He went to jail.

[rawbertson.]

street is over
no more roots or culture
just straight played now
thats why berra makin mall shops big
skate parks bigger and more
doesnt skate street any more just builds his own spots
trying to change the industry up on everyone
make it all geared toward park and contest bullshit again
take it away from the essence
to be the first one on the scene
to get the most money out of it
so he can live bomb
and we all get booted crazy
fuck that douche bag
no one gave a fuck about him when his mosaic part dropped

[Tico]

Wow, no wonder Michigan sucks, apparently there's not one fucking skateshop here.

A great moment in biz dev. "The Canteen is going to expand to sell more goods online so your local shop has to compete with us, the biggest, #1 visited skateboarding site out there." Go fuck YOUR face Borrics.

^^the entire argument in twelve words. pay attention Berra. amongst all the irrelevant banter, this is what's most important for you to take away from all this.

Offering a product for less than market value is also a way to hook good people up. IE inexpensive advertising on skateboarding's most trafficed website.

username Celebrity Centre defending berra?  does it get anymore transparent?

i would be VERY interested in knowing just how much involvement scientology has with the berrics.  maybe i'm being suspicious, but it's a well known fact that they make themselves involved in their member's affairs, especially if those members are making bank (like borra).

[NickDagger]

I noticed that as well. Is that you Borra?

[Lakaiercracker]

OKay, well That video clarified it a bit for me so it definitely does make a little bit more sense but he forgot to mention that shops do have websites, and if there is a "core" shop then there is also usually a good and tight-knit scene to support it.  With that scene typically comes blogs and other websites and local board companies and shit that typically have links to the shop's website and such which support their shop so this unified deal isn't completely necessary but I could see how it would help if the said shop had an online store or something that could be supported via the added online traffic. But how many people in their state don't know where the good shop is to go to that would go on the Berrics? I am guessing not many which leads me right back to thinking that this "Berrics Unified" is close to worthless (unless you have a good online store as I mentioned before). He must've heard what everyone has been saying because this video was a lot less intense, Koston at the end gave me a little bit of a chuckle too.

[Lakaiercracker]

sorry about that essay I just wrote by the way.

Absolutely none.

And attacking someone's religion is a pretty low blow. In typical Slap fashion when confronted with a good argument you hit below the belt.

Make up your minds. People on here are always saying Scientology is about making money. Then why would scientology be interested in a skatepark that costs $75,000 a month to operate, offers free content, and less than low cost advertising.

The industry norm is to offer incentives to shops who buy in bulk, for example mall shops and mail orders. The Berrics is offering incentives for small skater owned/operated shops.

If you don't like what we're saying, you can go fuck your face.

[Celebrity Centre]

If you don't think advertising on The Berrics is a good return on your investment, then don't do it.

[rawbertson.]

berrics is just 1 more step to street being done
kids dont care about street spots no more
normal people dont want you in street spots
lets just go to some corralled in spot where everyone wants us to be
sick
fuck that aspect of skating lets just drop it
